North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile off its east coast on July 12, according to the South Korean and Japanese military, just two days after it warned of “counteraction” against alleged intrusions by U.S. spy planes and drones.

Both South Korea and Japan reported spotting the launch but haven’t released further details.
